None of the above - I prefer a 'regular' no frills light.

I just wondered, as time goes on and light get more ‘funked up’ what flicks your switch – what would you like to see more of in your future lights?

I was about to not vote, not even for the last option because I hate M@g-lite. But then I remembered how much of a consumer’s dream the Nitecore TUP is with that display. Hope we get more of that from budget brands soon!
Yeah, the maglite one is a bit tongue in cheek really
It was meant to mean ‘ just a regular no frills job’ ie, a plain bog standard C8 – I’ll reword it.

I went with no-frills.

I’m the opposite Lightbringer, though I do appreciate a simple light too.
certainly an app enabled one would have numerous uses, and no doubt some clever clogs on here could write apps too – would be extremely useful for data, waking you up…. making the breakfast…
There may even be arguments for a camera inside………. you never know when walking the dog etc

Only if it has a self-destruct feature…

The light I’d most like to see is something the size of a Convoy L6 (2 × 26650) format running anduril. Or a K1 scaled up to a 2 × 26650.
Interchangeable emitters?
Oh no… then we will buy less lights 
(but seriously, interchangeable emitters???)

My favorite feature is Andúril-type ramping.
It's been around a little while, but I love it!
UPDATE:
I voted for LCD / Oled Displays.
I've never had a flashlight with that feature, but it sounds good to me.
My charger has one of those displays, and it's very nice.

Ooooh this has turned up to be interesting – I did think about adding more options, but though t it would be too much. Keep the ideas coming in here though hopefully now and again a flashlight manufacturer will look in!

Integration in my hue home lighting. Aux lights signaling when the motion detectors in my garden detect something.
The best flashlight is spoiled if one dislikes using it. So, I’d like to see more lights with a good UI.
Direct to moon, direct to turbo, moon and turbo not in regular mode set, low follows moon. Sounds like Olight. Even better is a MCR. And that’s my answer: I want to see all sorts of lights equipped with a MCR. The lesser the additional space used for it the better.
Smile, you cannot kill them all.
More GITD options. I’d like to see “faux trits”, tiny tubular LED’s installed like trits. Of course, it would mean a path through the body for the wiring but as long as it’s potted that should be fine. Mini LCD display. So many variations are out now. I think they should be able to come up with a better symbolic lexicon to minimize letters. Remove language from the equation, just numbers & symbols. Battery voltage, estimated mAh, temperature, setting indicators, charging indicators, low batt…
Magnetic card reader?
Might be a bit cumbersome, though. Swipe for turbo?

I like to carry minimal tools when in the arcade,but one thing I could use (and pondered on making) is a light with a decent screwdriver in the tail.
I did find a cheapie one somewhere I was gonna ‘frankenstein’ into one (the driver bit) but it went by the by lol, The bits were too small really – but I think a regular bit would fit in the middle.
Somewhere I saw a photo showing the smaller driver bit holder, fitting into a larger regular sized one below it.

Yes, parental control. No?
Or maybe I’d like a magnetic control ring.
Smile, you cannot kill them all.
Aha, okay.
Kinda big for an EDC, but Sofirn/Wurkkos have a few magring lights. Discrete steps, though, not continuously variable.
The DV-S9, also kinda big, has a magslider which is continuously variable.

Discontinued, but price was not even $17
Thanks for showing.

Huh… whaddya know.
Good thing I grabbed 3 of ‘em when I had the chance.
FT had ‘em for 17 and change, same with GB.
BG had a goggle entry then plays dumb and makes like it doesn’t exist when you click on it.

I’ve been saying for a decade that I’d both personally enjoy and could use at work, a NC D11.2 using an 18650 and putting out 500 sustainable lumens of punchy” flood.
Not having that, I voted for Aux LEDs, mainly due to really enjoying them on the Emisar KR4 I’ve had for about a dozen days now. The Aux LEDs are not just pretty and enjoyable, I’m finding them practical as well.
Enjoy the light show - LedTed
I would like to see Anduril support NiMH and an easier way to keep all my lights (firmware) up-to-date; maybe via USB-C?!
